I hope that if you should see (in my opinion, realize) in the future that making these sort of libraries available in a less restrivtive lic. will help to garner more interest in Ada and that can only be good for ACT's business in the future that you will consider changing the lic. In principle I agree with you, I only wish that Ada was such a force in the programming world that the GMGPL for anything but the GNAT runtime would not be (in my opinion) needed. Either way I hope ACT continues to both use "real" open source licenses and distribute its sources as it has up until now.
